Bookkeeping & Financial Statements for Small Businesses
Need a loan? Want to know if your business is actually making money? Or are your books simply a mess you’ve been avoiding? Based in Meridian, Idaho, I provide QuickBooks bookkeeping, payroll prep and CPA-prepared financial statements for small businesses across the Treasure Valley and remotely across the U.S., so your numbers are accurate, up to date and ready when your lender, investor or the IRS comes asking.
Bookkeeping & QuickBooks Services
Clean books are the foundation of everything else: accurate taxes, reliable financial statements and good business decisions. I’ll handle the tedious parts so you don’t have to.
- Monthly bookkeeping: categorizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and keeping your books current
- Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping: months (or years) behind? I’ll get your books back in order
- QuickBooks setup: a chart of accounts built for your business from day one
- Payroll prep: getting payroll records and filings in order
- Year-end close: books finalized and ready for tax time
QuickBooks versions I support: QuickBooks Online (Self-Employed, Simple Start/Essentials, Plus and Advanced), QuickBooks Pro Desktop and QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop.
Financial Statement Services
Lenders, investors and partners want proof that your business is what you say it is. A professionally prepared set of financial statements shows you mean business. There are three levels, depending on what you need:
| Service | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | I prepare your financial statements from your records. | Internal use and planning, a clear picture of performance |
| Compilation | Financial statements presented in proper format, with an accompanying accountant’s report. | Informal meetings with banks, partners or investors |
| Review | A deeper look using analytical procedures and inquiry, providing limited assurance that no material changes are needed. | Loans and financing that require a closer look at your finances |
Not sure which one you need? Ask your lender what they require, or bring the question to your free consultation and we’ll figure it out together.
Who This Is For
- Business owners applying for a loan or line of credit who need statements their bank will accept
- Small businesses that have outgrown a shoebox (or a spreadsheet)
- Owners who are behind on their books and dreading tax season
- Growing businesses that want monthly numbers they can actually make decisions with
How It Works
- Free consultation. We talk through your business, your current books and what you need.
- Review your setup. I take a look at your QuickBooks file (or whatever you’re using now).
- Clear quote. You’ll know the scope and cost before anything starts.
- I get to work. Bookkeeping gets current, and statements get prepared.
- Ongoing support. Monthly bookkeeping keeps you on track all year, not just at tax time.
Bookkeeping & Financial Statement FAQ
What’s the difference between a compilation and a review?
A compilation presents your financial information in proper financial statement format without providing assurance. A review goes further, using analytical procedures and inquiries to provide limited assurance. Lenders often specify which one they need.
Can you fix books that are months or years behind?
Yes. Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common projects I take on.
Do I need to switch to QuickBooks?
Not necessarily, but QuickBooks makes bookkeeping, financial statements and tax prep much smoother. I can help you set it up or move over.
Do you work with businesses outside Idaho?
Yes. QuickBooks Online and secure document sharing make it easy to work together remotely from anywhere in the U.S.
Sound Good?
Great, let’s get your financials up and running.
